Must say the digital nomad life has never appealed to me. Sounds like more work than is ideal, and I like having a permanent base where I know the locals and understand the culture. I can see how it might work for a limited period though.

Moose Jaw to Winnipeg today - 6.5 hours driving plus breaks.

Pretty strong and consistent wind out of the north, kept me on my toes for almost the whole drive.

Not to mention a mud flap coming loose and dragging at one point... it's not a long distance road trip without roadside repairs

Stopping here for a few nights to rest, then onward to Thunder Bay.

Left Drumheller, AB this morning after spending a couple of nights. Stopped outside of Gull Lake, SK at the moment for gas, on our way to Moose Jaw for the night.

Tomorrow we're headed to Winnipeg.

After a night in Jasper, the absolutely stunning drive down the Icefields Parkway to Banff, a night in Lake Louise, and a half day drive out of the mountains, we are now in Drumheller, AB for a couple of days.

The Icefields Parkway was just mind blowing. Absolutely one of the most scenic drives I've done.

Business Entrepreneurs -

Which digital service do you use for international payment and different currencies in your business?

I'm really loving it here in Burnaby. It's been cloudy and rainy almost every day, but the temperatures are fairly mild, and the rain is light enough that it's not bothersome to be outside in it.

The Central Valley Greenway - a hiking and biking path that follows the Brunette river - is literally right at my doorstep. Took the dogs for a half hour walk along the river this morning.

I've been taking it fairly easy the last couple of days. Still kinda tired, but slowly recovering from the drive.

Not sure what I'll get up to this weekend. I've got some chores to catch up on, but I might take the pups for a drive to higher altitudes to find some snow.

Beau, my GSD, hasn't seen snow in years, since we started RVing. Zoe, my Husky, has only seen snow one time for about 5 minutes.

They were both on the dash, but when. I went to take a photo Max was like “Nope! I’m outta here!”, meanwhile Lenny is just being Lenny

"#Italian village offers $1 homes to #Americans upset by the #US #election result"

'Lastly, starting last year, it launched a "work from #Ollolai" program for #digitalnomad s. So far four Americans have been hosted in fully equipped dwellings for a symbolic one euro. In return, they had to create something for the community, like an artwork or book.'

molto bello. La Sardegna ha creato una tentazione

Where is #digitalnomad #fediverse at? I need you guys.

Tentatively planning to get back on the road and head south next weekend... we're headed back to Vegas - which seems to have become our winter home - but we're going a different route this year to see new things.

The biggest stop on our way down will be Grand Canyon National Park. Super excited for that :D

Is there an app that helps find work-friendly cafés anywhere in the world? I’m in Jerez, Spain right now and struggling to find one.

An app where you can rate Wi-Fi speed, power outlets, noise level, and more would be perfect!

I travel around the world creating pieces inspired by the breathtaking landscapes I visit. Here are two recently handmade creations inspired by Israeli sunflowers in my parents kibbutz, and by snow and black sand mountains of Norway, frozen still in summer

I travel around the world creating pieces inspired by the breathtaking landscapes I visit. Here are two recently handmade creations inspired by the Norwegian northern lights (aurora) and a Norwegian history piece inspired by what I personally call "Oreo mountains", stunning black white snow, rocks and black sand mountains of Norway, and those two nature images were taken by my brother and I on our trip.

I'm spending October in California (doing a little digital nomad thing I guess) and I'm pretty much decided I'm going to drive (x-c from MA)...

...I'd been thinking I was going to sprint across the country as fast as I can, but now I'm realizing... maybe not?

Maybe I should take some time and do it a little more leisurely, stop and see people on the way...

Dunno yet. Musing.
